Fireman bayonet
Hello Gents,
I bought this bayonet at the age of 20 now I am 29 years old, can you give me some opinions on the authenticity of this bayonet? I have doubts about its authenticity,the washer it doesn't come down.
That's probably because it's designed to stay in place!
This isn't a bayonet for a Fireman, but a parade bayonet for a member of the Wehrmacht. The examples used for the Fire Service / Fire Police are similar however, they do not have the rifle slot or flashguard.
Thank you,Jamie ! Very usefull answear,I thought it was fake

Hi Larry,I watched a Wittmann seminary and he said if you cannot take the washer off the bayonet Its fake.That s why I had thought its fake.
I will check,some threads for more info.Thank you !
It's an authentic KS98, by Robert Klaas, probably late 1930's based on logo type used and alloy hilt.
Thank you Anderson !
Hello,
this is a dress bayonet IN THE FORM of the KS98 (the correct KS98 is a different model). It is original but in worse condition.
The fire brigade's fascine knife (NOT a bayonet) has a different crossguard and no attachment device, as shown.
Regards
Denis your purchase of nine years ago was sound, although its had a tough life by the looks of it. Do you have a scabbard for it too?
